GD424 -- a helium-atmosphere white dwarf with a large amount of trace hydrogen in the process of digesting a rocky planetesimal
Paula Izquierdo, Odette Toloza, Boris T. Gänsicke +5
The photospheric metal pollution of white dwarfs is now well-established as the signature of the accretion of planetary debris. However, the origin of the trace hydrogen detected i…
The White Dwarf Binary Pathways Survey IV: Three close white dwarf binaries with G-type secondary stars
M. S. Hernandez, M. R. Schreiber, S. G. Parsons +12
Constraints from surveys of post common envelope binaries (PCEBs) consisting of a white dwarf plus an M-dwarf companion have led to significant progress in our understanding of the…
White dwarfs with planetary remnants in the era of Gaia I: six emission line systems
N. P. Gentile Fusillo, C. J. Manser, Boris T. Gänsicke +17
White dwarfs with emission lines from gaseous debris discs are among the rarest examples of planetary remnant hosts, but at the same time they are key objects for studying the fina…
White dwarf pollution by hydrated planetary remnants: Hydrogen and Metals in WD J204713.76-125908.9
Matthew J. Hoskin, Odette Toloza, Boris T. Gänsicke +9
WD J204713.76-125908.9 is a new addition to the small class of white dwarfs with helium-dominated photospheres that exhibit strong Balmer absorption lines and atmospheric metal pol…
V1460 Her: A fast spinning white dwarf accreting from an evolved donor star
R. P. Ashley, T. R. Marsh, E. Breedt +6
We present time-resolved optical and ultraviolet spectroscopy and photometry of V1460~Her, an eclipsing cataclysmic variable with a 4.99\,h orbital period and an overluminous K5-ty…
white dwarfs within 40 pc I: spectroscopic observations of new candidates
P. -E. Tremblay, M. A. Hollands, N. P. Gentile Fusillo +30
We present a spectroscopic survey of 230 white dwarf candidates within 40 pc of the Sun from the William Herschel Telescope and Gran Telescopio Canarias. All candidates were select…
SDSS J124043.01+671034.68: The partially burned remnant of a low-mass white dwarf that underwent thermonuclear ignition?
Boris T. Gaensicke, Detlev Koester, Roberto Raddi +2
The white dwarf SDSS J124043.01+671034.68 (SDSS J1240+6710) was previously found to have an oxygen-dominated atmosphere with significant traces of neon, magnesium, and silicon. A p…
When the disc's away, the stars will play: dynamical masses in the nova-like variable KR Aur with a pinch of accretion
P. Rodríguez-Gil, T. Shahbaz, M. A. P. Torres +8
We obtained time-resolved optical photometry and spectroscopy of the nova-like variable KR Aurigae in the low state. The spectrum reveals a DAB white dwarf and a mid-M dwarf compan…
IGAPS: the merged IPHAS and UVEX optical surveys of theNorthern Galactic Plane
M. Monguió, R. Greimel, J. E. Drew +47
The INT Galactic Plane Survey (IGAPS) is the merger of the optical photometric surveys, IPHAS and UVEX, based on data from the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) obtained between 2003 an…
